Abstract
En 中文
• Insufficient separation from the pre-existing police force undermined the UPPs ability to operate as an institutional bypass. • Gradual reform timelines can and often do clash with political and economic interests in fast expansion. • Rapid scaling-up may undermine experimentation based on performance metrics and may create “reform traps.” • Reforms that are broad in scope can challenge organizational culture and “mental frameworks”, facing fiercer resistance. • Creating new structures is likely insufficient if not accompanied by recruitment of personnel who are open to change.
